“These celebrated recordings from Pollini's first Beethoven concerto cycle are preferable to his later remakes with Abbado. The muscular rigour of No. 3 is perhaps too brusque, but No. 4 has exceptional poise and poetry.”

“Of all piano concertos, Beethoven's Fourth perhaps best suits Pollini's qualities. His tone is exceptionally beautiful in quiet passages, rich and full at loud moments. [...] a performance of the highest quality, one of the very best on record.”
